Description

Gables Farm is a beautifully presented character country home, nestled in the heart of the popular village of Twyford with attractive views over the church. Occupying a spacious corner plot with a range of out-buildings, the property offers flexibility with potential for a self-contained annexe subject to relevant permission.

Dating back to 1839, this character farmhouse offers all the charming original features you would expect with a home of its age, whilst having been lovingly restored by the current owners with a complimentary modern interior finish. The immaculately presented accommodation comprises an entrance hallway with cloakroom, cosy snug with feature cast iron fireplace, dual-aspect study overlooking the church, large living room with wood burning stove and French double doors onto the garden terrace, dining room and traditional farmhouse kitchen with Range cooker and a large separate utility boot room.

This space offers flexibility for many uses and could be converted to create a self-contained annexe STPP.
